    put some like neoprene foam inside it, and maybe try some mods to how the pcb is mounted, that thing could sound even better.

    Also, for more experienced lubers, amazon sells 0.5 oz tubes of krytox 205/4/6g2 lube which works great as a thick lube.

    Tecsee also has a diamond switch that features uhmwpe housing and stem with a 63.5g 2-stage spring. I think you can purchase them through their instagram page. Personal opinion: kinda muted bottom out and has a weird topping out sound, probably cos the stem is made from uhmwpe. Benefits alot from stem swapping to a long pole pom stem like say the purple panda stem or boba stem.

    Nice build! I'm seriously curious as to whether the Gliging 205g0 is just white-labelled Krytox 205g0. I know some people who tested them side by side (albeit not super scientifically) and didn't find them to be that noticeably different. If this is the case, the current offering of 2x10g of 205g0 for $16 after coupon is insane.

    • @jimmynguyen973
      @jimmynguyen973  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ill have to do more tests with it, but from my initial impressions with it on this build, doesn't seem to be white labeled and i found krytox gives more of that buttery feeling, but the gliging lube would work for someone who isn't super picky about that stuff / isn't comparing it side by side. there could also be some of my biases at play here, so blind tests are def needed.

      not better or worse, just different. it has a longer stem pole so it will bottom out sooner than the matcha, and it has a lighter spring so it will take less force to push down.

      $150 for a full custom keyboard is amazing. You really can't get any cheaper, unless you want a scratchy grotesque sound, you have to be willing to spend up to $300-$400 if you want the best.
